| dc.description.abstract | The starting point of this essay is the internal difference in the concept of power, the issue of authority and its relation to the act. The authority operates as both the assumed perfect coincidence of act and law, and as the pure externality of authority to law. This complex structure is the real essence of power in the West, government, whose main signature, The Kingdom and the Glory will go on to argue, has been that of oikonomia or economy. Finally, the paper will examine the notion of inoperativity, concept that reveals the total structure of the system. What we can say however is that until the signatures of power are themselves revealed in their inoperativity, the oft promised key to the totality of the Homo Sacer project, remains unintelligible. It is for this reason that The Kingdom and the Glory may come to be seen not only as one of Agamben’s most important statements, but as the fundamental work of political philosophy of our age. | es |
| dc.description.abstract | El punto de partida de este ensayo es la diferencia interna en el concepto de poder, la problemática de la autoridad y su relaciĂłn con el acto. La autoridad opera a la vez como la coincidencia perfecta supuesto de acto y ley, y como la pura externalidad de autoridad a la ley. Esta compleja es la esencia real del poder en occidente, el gobierno, cuya signatura ha sido la economĂa, como El reino y la Gloria defenderá. Finalmente, el ensayo examinará la nociĂłn de inoperatividad, concepto que revela la estructura total del sistema. Podemos decir que hasta que las signaturas de poder son ellas mismas reveladas en su inoperatividad, la prometida clave de totalidad del proyecto de Homo sacer permanece indistinguible. Por eso el Reino y la Gloria nosĂłlo es uno de los libros más importantes de Agamben, sino la obra fundamental de la filosofĂa polĂtica de nuestro tiempo | es |
